The New York Times picked the Village of West Greenville to visit — here's why

The rankings and lists that Greenville has made by this time are part of the tagline for describing what it has become — and there are so many now that things have begun to get more specific.

In the case of the New York Times, the focus is the Village of West Greenville.

In a feature today, the NYT establishes that Greenville is already a "buzzy destination for the culinary and creative arts after years of economic growth and urban revitalization.

But it highlights The Village, once its own population center to support the production of textiles, followed by a decline as the plants closed, then brought back to life more than a decade ago by artists, who saw opportunity outside of downtown Greenville.

"In recent years, the enclave known as “The Village” of West Greenville has been transformed into an artistic and entrepreneurial district with an eclectic mix of small businesses," the feature reads.
